We Need To Talk About Last Night’s ‘Game Of Thrones’ Episode

The sun had risen after ‘The Long Night’, the epic battle for Winterfell was over, and a solid third of everyone in the North was dead, so you’d think that this episode would be a little bit of a breather — for the characters and for everyone watching. And it was, for a bit. Dany, Sam, Sansa, and pretty much everybody else needed time to grieve and strategize, and then of course start the long trip down South.

But first, a good old fashion “we narrowly prevented the apocalypse” party.



They deserved it.

As per usual, Tormund and Jon’s bromance was adorable.

And Brienne shot him down, AGAIN.

Whenever I watch GoT most of it is just me yelling “YOU’RE TOO GOOD FOR HER SHE DOESN’T DESERVE YOU” at Tormund. He even CRIED THIS TIME. Never before have I wanted to console and protect a grown ass man the way I want to console and protect Tormund Giantsbane.

Dany spent the party stressing about her claim to the iron throne and told Jon he had to keep his true identity a secret — so he immediately told Sansa and Arya.

And he told them they couldn’t tell anyone his true identity — so Sansa immediately told Tyrion.

Gendry was made Lord of Storm’s End and really got into the party spirit, so he, uhh, proposed to Arya… and got swiftly turned down.

Yikes

Brienne and Jaime got wasted playing a drinking game with Tyrion, who correctly guessed that Brienne was still a virgin and made everything super awkward. But hey — at least it ended with JAIME AND BRIENNE ACTUALLY HOOKING UP.

Oh, and in case you missed it, someone left their coffee cup on the table. So I guess Starbucks is canon now.

The trip to King’s Landing was cut short when Euron Greyjoy came out of nowhere and shot Rhaegal out of the fuckin’ sky.

And then proceeded to absolutely DESTROY all of Dany and Jon’s ships, sending everyone into the water. Thankfully they all washed up onto the shores of Dragonstone. Well, almost everyone.

Missandei was captured by Euron’s men and brought to King’s Landing, and Cersei could’ve just held her as a bargaining chip for later, but NO. SHE JUST HAD TO GO AND CUT MISSANDEI’S HEAD OFF.

SHE ALMOST MADE IT TO THE END. SHE ALMOST SURVIVED THE WHOLE THING. MISSANDEI AND GREYWORM WERE GONNA HAVE A BEAUTIFUL LIFE TOGETHER. THANK YOU FOR ONCE AGAIN SHATTERING MY HEART, GAME OF THRONES.
